With all of Tom DeLay’s bossism and corrupt rule now finally being revealed to a wider audience, I figure it’s time to revisit the DeLay Rule, and remember which Republican members of the House were so devoted to DeLay (i.e., owned by DeLay) that they were willing to rewrite their caucus’s rules on his request because they thought he was about to indicted back in Texas. We’ve got a whole library of the letters the DeLay Rule backers sent to their constituents trying to explain themselves.
